The Heir Of All Four

Chapter 2: Hogwarts

The train finally arrived, all children riding it are now out, azazel, harry, and ron are wearing their robes.

"Fis' yer over her'" a voice yelled

"Hagrid!" Harry exclaimed

"Oh ello there harry" hagrid greeted "and who's this?"

"This is ron and azazel" harry introduced

"Ello, it's nice meeting ya" hagrid smiled "you three better get yar boats, go on!"

The three boys found a boat and hopped on it, they were joined by a boy named Neville Longbottom, the boy who lost the toad.

As the boys talk in the boat ride, they reached the part where they could see the castle... And it was breath taking, it's nothing like how Jake described it, even the word magnificent sounds like an insult.

The door swung open at once. A tall, black-haired witch in emerald-green robes stood there. She had a very stern face and Harry's first thought was that this was not someone to cross.

"The firs' years, Professor McGonagall," said Hagrid.

"Thank you, Hagrid. I will take them from here."
She pulled the door wide. The entrance hall was so big you could have fit a whole house in it. The stone walls were lit with flaming torches like the ones at Gringotts, the ceiling was too high to make out, and a magnificent marble staircase facing them led to the upper floors.

They followed Professor McGonagall across the flagged stone floor. Harry could hear the drone of hundreds of voices from a doorway to the right -the rest of the school must already be here -- but Professor McGonagall showed the first years into a small, empty chamber off the hall. They crowded in, standing rather closer together than they would usually have done, peering about nervously.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall. "The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory, and spend free time in your house common room.
"The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rulebreaking will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup, a great honor. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours.
"The Sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the rest of the school. I suggest you all smarten yourselves up as much as you can while you are waiting."

Her eyes lingered for a moment on Neville's cloak, which was fastened under his left ear, and on Ron's smudged nose. Harry nervously tried to flatten his hair, while azazel looks around, he doesn't need to do anything, he's looking decent.

"I shall return when we are ready for you," said Professor McGonagall. "Please wait quietly."

She left the chamber.

"How exactly do they sort us into houses?" harry asked Ron and azazel.

"Some sort of test, I think. Fred said it hurts a lot, but I think he was joking." Ron answered

Azazel just pursed his lips and blink numerous times, he knows how this works, but he won't tell them, he thought it would be funny to see them all nervous.

"Yes, a test." Azazel mumbled loud enough for harry and ron to hear "My brothers thought me all about this, so I guess I wouldn't be having a hard time."
